Registration is open until June 30th 2024. The number of participants is limited to 43.

The Evry Schatzman School, organized by the French National Stellar Physics Program and a recurrent CNRS thematic school, will be dedicated in 2024 to "Disks and planetary formation in the JWST and ELT era". Data obtained by the JWST space telescope, launched in December 2021, are revolutionizing our understanding of planetary formation processes, notably by providing access to the inner regions of the disk (below 10 astronomical units in radius), essential for the formation of telluric planets.
The aim of the school is to train the community in the major issues of planetary formation, building on recent results obtained with the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST).  The school will contribute to strengthening the French community's involvement in JWST operations and the scientific preparation of ELT instruments on a key theme in 21st century astrophysics. It also aims to develop interdisciplinarity between the various INSU programs on this theme, and to encourage exchanges of expertise between modellers and observers.

The school will be structured around 5 main courses (in English) covering:
    - Initial conditions of planetary formation in the JWST era (Gaspard Duchêne, IPAG)
    - Disk structure and evolution models (Geoffroy Lesur, IPAG)
    - Planetary formation: from pebbles to planetesimals and planets (Sean Raymond, LAB)
    - VLT/ELT and JWST synergy (Lucas Labadie, Univ. Cologne)
    - The chemical evolution of disks (Romane Le Gal, IPAG)

with special contributions on:

•  Jets and protostellar ouflows with JWST (Sylvie Cabrit, LERMA)
• JWST and exoplanets (Anthony Boccaletti, LESIA)
• The JWST Observatory (Anthony Boccaletti)

Practical work will take place in the afternoons and will cover :
    - introduction to the use of the open-source radiative transfer code MCFOST (https://mcfost.readthedocs.io/en/latest/overview.html) for modeling dust in protoplanetary disks. animated by G. Duchêne
    - introduction to the use of gas diagnostic tools for the analysis of JWST disk spectra: animator Milou Temmink (Leiden univ.)
    - preparation of JWST proposals, with an introduction to the proposal preparation software (APT), the exposure time calculator (ETC) . Animators: C. Dougados, A. Boccaletti, M. Voyer 
(CEA)

 The school will take place from September 30 to October 4, 2024 at the CNRS biological station in Roscoff, Brittany.  It is limited to 40 participants.


 The SOC is composed of : C. Dougados (chair, IPAG), K. Belkacem (LESIA), N. Meunier (IPAG), A. Maury (CEA), C. Baruteau (IRAP), M. Langlois (CRAL), A. Lopez-Sepulcre (IPAG), S. Charnoz (IPGP)
